    The place is extremely noisy at night because there are 2 bars on site . The doors leading into the accommodations bang loudly untill all hours of the morning .

    The facilities were all clean and the location was fantastic. The off street parking is also a bonus

    The house keeping ladies don't knock at times and I found that very strange and made me uncomfortable.

    Cheerful and inviting staff including the security at night. I recall one night I came in in the early hours of the morning during load shedding hour and the security was in sight to help me in since I wouldn't have been able to by myself due power outage.

    I liked the vibe of the place. It is definitely for the younger crowd, which I loved. I had respectful roommates, and I loved that they cleaned the rooms everyday.

    Unfortunately we were not aware that the accommodation is above a bar which remains open till midnight. The music was fortunately turned off at 10pm and we were able to sleep quite well.

    The location of the property is ideal if you are looking for a central city vibe.

    Not much... In due course I'm pretty sure establishment will find creative solutions to keeping the wi-fi operational during loadshedding.

    All staff are exceptional, a testament to Ruth's excellent leadership and direction - we are in good hands always. The beautiful welcoming smiles all around and being addressed by name make N@H my home away from home :-) Checking in and out is seamless, any quirks are attended to on the spot or within a reasonable time - Kelvin is a keeper with maintenance :-) Quiet hours are strictly adhered to - perfect for studying too.

    Very noisy in the evenings. not much “chill out space” that you might hope to find in a hostel. little character. bare concrete floors a bit dirty in the room.

    good location. efficient check in. helpful staff. comfortable large bed and good shower with view of table mountain. easy access safe off street parking.

    A bit of a bother if you wanted to go to sleep early since there is a bar basically in the hotel but they always shut everything off at midnight so it's not too bad

    The staff was so amazing and really helpful. Rooms were nice and if you needed recommendations the staff was very good with that

    the noise is the only annoying thing in this Hostel as it is with a bar , so it is really noisy at night till 10 :00 PM ,

    a very nice place with amazing staff , the hostel is well designed for your comfort well organized , clean , they make a WhatsApp group for the guest to hangout and do activities and for communication as well of the electric shedding

    The beds are a bit on top of each other but it is ok for the price I guess.

    The fact that you can charge and keep your belongings with you whilst you sleep.

    It's getting cold now. A bit of heating please, now it's chilly. Food being stolen from the fridge is a big problem so please could you improve the security of the kitchen.
